SCOOP: Tyson Foods has subpoenaed two news organizations, demanding they turn over notes and contacts with local farmers whom Tyson Foods put out of business.
I've never seen such aggressive subpoenas issued by a major corporation to news media.

NEW: Crypto ATMs are a new frontier for scammers, funneling hard-to-trace cash into fraudsters’ digital wallets. In 2023 alone, over $120M was lost in the USA due to these schemes.

How do they pull it off? ⬇️

Drug lords.
Notorious politicians.
Terrorism financiers.

In the gleaming cityscape of Dubai, some of the world’s wealthy + most wanted have taken advantage of secrecy, lax regulations & a hot property market.

Who are they? Come see.

Welcome to #DubaiUnlocked.

Returning from my Twitter hiatus, here's what I've been up to

(yes that master's degree hood isn't straight don't @ me)

[Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project @OCCRP]

Dubai is a jet-set influencer’s paradise.

It's also home to convicted criminals, fugitives & sanctioned individuals who need a place to stash illicit wealth.

COMING SOON: 70+ media outlets launch a global investigation of foreign property ownership IN UAE.
